Yea we joke about the double standard in the media, but this is legitimately insane.

[Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn]

I'm going to break my self-imposed social media ban to note something that I might write if I wasn't leaving on a trip tonight:
If you want to solve gerrymandering, it is a solvable problem.

@ASFleischman How about "I'm always ready, Coach, oops, I mean Your Honor"?

[Andrew Fleischman @ASFleischman]

What could you possibly say about Ken Paxton that is worse than what voters already know?

Did he fuck a dog?

[Andrew Fleischman @ASFleischman]

Congratulation you've just described exactly how government officials can use bogus lawsuits to stifle valid criticism in the absence of a fee shifting statute.

[John Barnes, probably not the one you thought @JohnBarnesSF]

JFK&TR, both famously cool. Abe Lincoln was a champion wrestler, funny as shit, and ran the country in its darkest hour. John Quincy Adams fought for the rights of people of color 150 years before it was cool, and stood up to proficient man-killer psychobully Andrew Jackson.

This man exhibits the supreme confidence of someone who has no idea that he has no idea what he's talking about

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.

And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.

So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic.

An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe.

We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority.

NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction.

Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build.

We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time.

Something to consider is that California and Virginia are leaving redistricting up to the voters but in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina they drew up a map in a back room somewhere and just implemented it regardless of what the voters thought.

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵

As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late.

👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags:

1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period.

2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER.

3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp.

👉How to actually stay safe?

1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend.

2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it.

3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it.

4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.

Not that the MAGATs will listen to an actual cop, but I enjoy feeling like this officer tried and it’s important for them to keep trying https://t.co/ze98LriY5t

Tim Miller does a close breakdown of Jonathan Ross’s cellphone video up thru his murder of Renee Nicole Good. Miller also responds with appropriate justified fury to the gaslighting by Vance, Noem, Patel, Trump and the online barrel of despicables. https://t.co/NuYR6qAVMN

After centuries of effort, scientists have largely succeeded in digitally reconstructing the Earth in order to ask how its climate will change in the future. Now some people, not liking the answer, are reaching to unplug the machine. @savagitsky reports: https://t.co/azdmBA2SEs

Mathematicians gathered in Kyiv and Warsaw to inaugurate a new center and “open, or reopen, Ukrainian science for the world.”
